As part of the engagement campaign for On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam, we have collaborated with public television stations across the country to create digital maps of veterans’ memorials and other monuments to military service.
You can visit and interact with the eight maps you see below. Whether or not you live in one of the communities represented, you might consider organizing a walking tour of monuments in your area; volunteering to clean-up and restore a monument; or rededicating one with a small ceremony.
Contact your local public television station for more details.
